Description: | A complete cast lead flat and circular papal bulla of Innocent IV, dating between AD 1243-1254 (diameter: 37.7mm; thickness: 4.8mm; weight: 44.32g). On the obverse, the head of St. Paul is represented to the left, with St. Peter to the right. A beaded border surrounds each head, and Bailey suggests that this may represent a halo. The heads are divided by a cross with the inscription 'SPASPE' above (S,PA for St. Paul and S'PE for St. Peter). On the reverse, the inscription 'INNOCENTIVS PPIIII' within a beaded border. The initials 'P.P.' are an abbreviation for Pope. The artefact is in a worn but fair condition. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Johnson, Caroline - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
